Writing about the memory of Ante Glavičić, a man who had a sense for the health and real cultural-historic values of his town and its surroundings, the author gives us a personal memoryof his first meeting with Ante Glavičić upon his arrival in Senj thanks to Msgr. Vladimir Kraljić, head of the archives of the Senj-Modruš bishopric, after which followed a rich collaboration in the scientific field and his inclusion as a permanent collaborator in the Senj Almanac which Glavičić edited. He notes that Glavičič credited the author as he began to systematically deal with written scientific works in the almanac. He concludes that if today it is possible to say that he had done anything in the field of science, then it is certainly largely thanks to Glavičić who gave him the ideas for various themes from Senj’s church history which would be necessary to elaborate and publish in the Senj Almanac. Remembering Glavičić, he regrets that he was not more persistent in their meetings and persuade him that they go together through Senj and he translate the speech of his town as its admirer in an authorial comprehensible way. The author had always thinking that there was time, whilst Glavičić in their meetings always acted as though there was never enough time so the author spared such wishes and so one professional tale of Senj’s interesting historical story has been left untold.

This paper discusses the character and activities of another person from Gračanica who belonged, for the most part, to the general pre-war activists and sympathizers of the communist movement that were young and from all nationalities. In the years prior to the Second World War they mostly gathered in the Cultural and Educational Society “National Library”, but also in some other pro-Yugoslav societies and organizations (“Gajret”, “Soko” and others) in Gračanica. During the war they mostly operated illegally helping the partisan movement, and some of them later joined proper partisan units. One of the most active among them was Fadil Šabić. This paper discusses his activity in the years immediately prior to the Second World War, his wartime activities and the immediate post-war period which was a time of severe disappointments for Šabić. In addition to basic information about his activities, special emphasis is placed on the general social environment in which he was active, as well as on the many prominent personalities from the local milieu with whom he met and collaborated.

In addition to the occasional reminder of the character of Professor Adam Andrzejewski, the essential goal of the article is to document the usefulness of the Professor’s thoughts in today’s socio-economic realities. The professor’s thought allowed for especially today’s consideration of the importance of the housing stock and other elements of settlement infrastructure as an opportunity and the basic field of realizing the sustainable development of the inhabited space, as well as the entire living space in reference to the concept of sustainable development. The presented article confirms that housing and settlement policy are elements of social sciences and the area of knowledge in the field of which the developed research methods and practices work well in the long term, reaching the secular dimensions. This regularity is reflected in the small changes in the directions of housing and settlement policy research formulated by Professor Adam Andrzejewski.

This paper deals with life and work of the Croatian zoologist and museum worker Krunoslav Babić (Senj, 1875 - Opatija, 1953). There are particulars about his life with special emphasis on his work as a University professor (1916-1942) and on his scientific research, which he conducted as a custodian (1900-1927) and later for a quite long time as a director (1927-1945) of the Croatian National Zoological Museum at Zagreb. The author has selected some twenty of Babić's papers dealing with the Adriatic Sea dwelling invertebrates, then with Croatian fauna of the Adriatic hydroids and sponges, planktonic sea medusae and ctenophores, polychaetes and starfish as well as some freshwater sponges and crustaceans - branchiopods and decapods. The author refers further to as much of his expert and popular articles, then the two popular-scientific works on life conditions in the Adriatic Sea, on its animals and some rare visitors (i.e. the Leatherback Turtle /Dermochelys coriacea/ and the Basing Shark.). Then follows the conclusion on the importance of Babić's longlasting pedagogical activities at the University of Zagreb (1916-1942) and at the Pedagogical Academy, then on his contribution to the knowledge about Croatian Fauna of some invertebrates. The importance of the secondary-school textbooks for zoolog, that he wrote in co-authorship with Nikola Fink, is likewise emphasized here. They had many re-editions and are considered to be the first originally written textbooks for zoology in Croatian language.

The author deals with the life history of prof. dr. se. Josip Balen, his successful professional and scientific career as the University professor and forestory engineer. He was born at Krmpote, county of Novi Vinodolski, and buried at Tucuman, Argentina. The rich and prolific professional and scientific course of Josip Balen was bound to the woods and forestry with the special accent to his scientific, professional and educational work on the University. He graduated his studies on forestry at Banska Šćavnica (Slovakia), worked in various forestry administrations all over Croatia to become in 1919 director of the Inspectorate for the afforestation of karst at Senj. His doctor's dissertation on the cultivation and ecological problems of the karst entitled "Bora and its importance in the afforestation of the Karst", was successfully defended at the Faculty of Forestry, the University of Zagreb, in 1923. It was the first dissertation from the sphere of forestry defended at the University of Zagreb. In 1925 he was transferred to Belgrade at the Ministry of forestry and ores. In 1927 he became the associate professor and in 1930 professor at the Faculty of Forestry, Dept. for growing and cultivation and protection of woods at Zemun. At the same time he published a great number of his professional and scientific works mainly on the cultivation of forests, then six autonomous books of which some of his important works have to be pointed out. Those were "On thins" (1919), "Our bare karst" (1931), "Forestry workers" (1938). After the Indipendent State of Croatia (NDH) was established, he was appointed the counsellor to the Ministry of religious observance and educational system. Afterwards he was appointed a district prefect at the district office about Poglavnik, then the professor at the Faculty of the agriculture and forestry at Zagreb. He was also acting as a director of the Institute for the protection of forests, then held the office of minister at the Ministry for the national economics and after that was appointed the minister of forests and ores. The storms of war took him together with some twelve Croatian forest experts and a lot of other Croatians to Argentina. He assumed there a post of a technical councellor in the Directorate of forests, where he organized and carried through the afforestation with eucalyptuses and poplars on the area of some 50.000 h. In 1956. he was transferred to Chile where he was employed as a professor for the cultivation of forests at a newly opened Faculty of forestry at Valdivia and also as a director of the Forest Insitute at the same city. In 1960 he came back to Argentina and worked as a professor for the cultivation of forests at Faculty of Santiago de Estero, Universitat Nacional de Cordoba. In the same year he founded the first indipendent Faculty of forestry at Tucuman and assumed there a post of the professor at Department for the afforestation. Afterwards he founded also the Forest institute for the afforestation, where he acted as a director. He died in 1964 and was buried with great honours at Tucuman. The contribution of Josip Balen in the development of the forest profession, science and school system, not only in Croatia but in Argentina and Chile as well, was really great. We are quite sure that his contribution to the Croatian and world-wide forestry would be even greater if he was not so violently expelled from his native country Croatia.
